Crinkle Top Brownies

Guys… I finally did it! These are THE BEST Crinkle Top Brownies made GLUTEN FREE AND VEGAN! I’ve been trying for the longest time to make the perfect brownie that doesn’t use eggs, dairy, or gluten. This was a difficult process, given that regular vegan brownie recipes still use all purpose flour and gluten free brownie recipes still use eggs to achieve the flavors and textures of a regular brownie. And no, I was not going to cheat by using gluten free all purpose flour 😌 BUT with many trials… some may say too many haha… I finally did it! There are two secret ingredients that give this brownie it’s irresistible crinkle top and classic fudgey interior. These did not last long in my house, be sure to give these a try!

Strawberry Blonde Bars

If you've ever been to Cold Stone Creamery, you may be familiar with their Strawberry Blonde signature sundae. Whenever we were running errands around there, my mom and I would always find time to make a quick stop and share a scoop of this irresistibly creamy treat. It's one of the sweet memories my mother and U share, but ever since her dairy intolerance developed and I switched to a plant-based diet, we stopped our little tradition. Until... these bars were born!!! A buttery graham cracker crust layered with a gooey date caramel and topped with a fresh, creamy strawberry filling. And it’s all gluten free, vegan, and made with wholesome ingredients. Every time strawberry season comes around, my mom ALWAYS asks for me to make these bars! They've reinvigorated our tradition for the better--Cold Stone has nothing on these utterly delicious bars. And when I'm feeling a little extra, I pipe a little coconut whipped cream on top of each bar. You guys, this one is sooo good, make sure you give it a try!
